Dustin Poirier vs. Erik Koch Has Been Added to the UFC 164 Fight Card in Milwaukee

A featherweight match-up between top ten ranked fighters Dustin Poirier and Erik Koch has been added to the UFC 164 fight card in Milwaukee.

Sources close to the fight confirmed the match-up to MMAWeekly.com on Thursday.

Poirier (13-3) looks to rebound from a loss in his last outing to Cub Swanson at UFC on Fuel TV: Barao vs. McDonald on Feb. 16.

The 24-year-old Poirier was on an impressive five-fight winning streak and on the cusp of a title shot a year ago, but his title aspirations were derailed by Chan Sung Jung in May of 2012. He bounced back from the loss with a win over The Ultimate Fighter 12 winner Jonathan Brookins in December, prior to the loss to Swanson.

Koch (13-2) was on a similar path to a title shot, riding a four-fight winning streak before losing to Ricardo Lamas at UFC on Fox 6 on Jan. 26.
